Xero Shoes is handling our own recruitment. We will not respond to solicitations from recruiters.

Some companies talk about balance, but very few actually make space for it. Our team was built with the belief that people should be able to build meaningful projects and still have time for the moments outside of work that matter most.

We are a small regional Builder/Developer where leadership knows everyone by name, decisions are made quickly, and people are trusted to manage both their projects and their time. It is the kind of place where strong careers are built, but where stepping away to be present for family, school events, or the occasional afternoon game is simply part of being human.

Because we operate as both a Developer and a Builder, our project managers are involved in a broader part of the process than is typical at larger firms. The work stays interesting and varied, with projects that move across different communities and project types.

The projects are typically located in Portland, Vancouver, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego and sometimes even out to the coast including Tillamook and Cannon Beach.

What this role includes

• Guiding projects from early planning through construction and completion

• Managing project budgets, schedules, and financial performance

• Working closely with Superintendents and project teams in the field

• Coordinating with architects, consultants, and ownership groups

• Supporting subcontractor procurement and contract administration

• Maintaining project documentation including RFIs, submittals, and change management

What tends to fit well with our team

• 5+ years of commercial construction experience with a reputable General Contractor or Builder/Developer

• Experience managing commercial construction projects

• Strong organizational and financial management skills

• Ability to build productive relationships with project partners
